Simple line breaks in markdown or using Text()

[markstamer]

It seems that line breaks are ignored in markdown. This is all rendered inline:

Text(markdown: """
Sollicitudin Etiam
Etiam Sem 42
12345 Purus 
""")

Also it would be great to have simple line breaks that don't introduce space between two lines to work, e.g. by ending a line with a backslash. I couldn't achieve this with Text either, e.g. by putting multiple text elements in a Group. It would be great for something like displaying an address.

Not sure if you have tried this but try end lines with two or more spaces.

Thanks for your comment but it doesn't work either. I have "Automatically trimming trailing whitespace" in Xcode enabled but turning it off didn't work either.

There is a simple workaround. Xcode's markdown parser supports inline HTML. Add <br> at the end of each line. If you want a paragraph-style double space between lines, use <br><br>

Text(markdown: """
Sollicitudin Etiam<br>
Etiam Sem 42<br>
12345 Purus 
""")

Awesome, it works. Thanks @cpah I wonder if there is a reason why this does not work out of the box and what the best approach would be to make it work. Either on Swift Markdown parser level or even Ignite.
